Maxillary Mucormycotic Osteonecrosis as a Manifestation of Post-COVID-19 Infection in Non-diabetic Patients: Report of Two Cases.

Mucormycosis is a rare, opportunistic fungal infection prevalent in the elderly, especially in patients with uncontrolled diabetes or a compromised immune system. However, the outbreak of the pandemic declared by the World Health Organization in late 2019 increased the incidence of mucormycosis cases in COVID-19 patients due to increased steroid usage that resulted in an immunocompromised state. The current report presents two cases of oral mucormycotic osteomyelitis in patients who developed diabetes post-COVID infection, along with a review and relevant literature.
